Inconsistent behavior when setting DataFrame index to datetime Series · Issue #6785 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

df = pandas.DataFrame([{'ts':datetime(2014, 4, 1, tzinfo=pytz.utc), 'foo':1}])

df = df.set_index('ts')
print(df)

                           foo
ts                            
2014-04-01 00:00:00+00:00    1

df.index = df['ts']
print(df)

In [75]: print(df)
